+Usage

-TODO: To be done
+Usage is quite simple:
 
+- Create/open a database using `Database::open`
+    - You can specify the kind of Key you want using this Syntax:
+      `Database::<Key>::open`
+- `Insert`/`Retrieve` data from the Database
+- Don't forget to run `flush` periodically
 
+```rust
+use rustbreak::Database;
 
+fn main() {
+    let db = Database::open("my_contacts").unwrap();
+
+    db.insert("Lapfox", "lapfoxtrax.com").unwrap();
+    db.insert("Rust", "github.com/rust-lang/rust").unwrap();
+
+    // we need to be explicit about the kind of type we want as println! is
+    // generic
+    let rust : String = db.retrieve("Rust").unwrap();
+    println!("You can find Rust at: {}", rust);
+    db.flush().unwrap();
+}
+```
